125.0. "Useful Shareware/Freeware for Internet Roadmap CD" by TECO::tecotoo.mro.dec.com::mayer (Danny Mayer) Tue Mar 25 1997 09:15

        We are looking for some useful shareware or freeware tools to highlight
  for the Internet Roadmap for Windows NT.  We are looking for tools that
  run on both Intel and Alpha NT (and Windows 95).  Some of the more useful
  tools are things like Winzip, WS-FTP, QVTNT, and Polyview.  However, these
  tools were build for Intel only and we need some tools that were build
  for both Intel and Alpha.  If you can put together your top 5 list of
  tools with a brief description as follows and send it to the following
  Email address:  [email protected] and we will collate and
  review the tools.

        Please follow the following general format for each tool:

  Name: MVIEW            Intel Binary: Yes       Alpha Binary: Yes
  Owner: Digital Equipment Corporation
  Location:
http://roadmap.mro.dec.com/RoadmapCD/HTML/SHAREWARE/SHAREWAREINDEX.HTM#Viewers
  Description:
     Mview will play any MPEG file.  If a WAV file of the same name with
     extension .wav exists, and there is a Windows NT wave audio device and
     driver on the system, and audio is enabled on the player, then Mview
     will play the MPEG file synched to the audio.

  Comments:  Seems to be bug free.  I have run it on a number of different
  programs.  The Alpha version really runs well.


        Sending mail to [email protected] is preferable at this
  point rather than responding here though I will collect all suggestions.

    Description: "Programmer's File Editor (PFE) is a large-capacity text
    file editor, oriented towards those who use Windows as their program
    development environment, and so incorporates many features that make it
    a convenient work management system. Although its primarily oriented to
    program development, it makes a very powerful general editor for any
    purpose at all."
    
    Comments: I use this editor on every machine I regularly use.  I'm also
    one of Alan's beta testers, though I have never come across any
    problems.  It just works! Alan distributes this program as freeware.
    
    Conditions for Using and Distributing PFE: "Programmer's File Editor
    may be freely used for any purpose. You may use it privately or in the
    course of your work; there is no fee, and no registration is required. 
    You may distribute it to anyone, and you may place it on any archive or
    bulletin board system. You may not charge anyone for it other than a
    reasonable fee to cover your distribution costs. Normally, you should
    distribute PFE in the form as supplied by the author; however, you may
    repackage it to suit the conventions and needs of an archive or
    bulletin board system.  PFE may not be distributed as part of any
    commercial product without a prior licence agreement. Licenses to
    incorporate the source into commercial products are also available."
    
    "PFE may be reviewed for any publication, whether in hard copy or
    electronic form, without the author's prior permission."
